Bradley Barcola has been left out of Paris Saint-Germain's matchday squad to face Lens, adding further fuel to speculation that the France international could leave the club this summer.
The latest omission comes at a significant moment, with Liverpool continuing to pursue Barcola and PSG having recently strengthened their attack with the arrivals of Ferran Torres and Mika Godts.
Barcola Missing From PSG Squad
Barcola is not included in PSG's squad for Sunday's Trophée des Champions meeting with Lens.
The winger's absence is particularly notable because he had previously been included in PSG's travelling squad for their UEFA Super Cup clash with Aston Villa earlier this month. He was an unused substitute in that match.
This latest omission therefore adds another layer of uncertainty surrounding his future.
Liverpool Remain Interested
Liverpool are continuing to monitor Barcola as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
The 23-year-old reportedly remains a priority target, although PSG's asking price represents a major obstacle.
Reports have suggested that PSG could be willing to reduce their valuation from around £145 million to approximately £125 million, potentially making a deal more achievable.
Barcola is also reportedly open to a move to Liverpool and has been linked with an agreement on personal terms, although the two clubs still need to reach an agreement over the transfer fee.
PSG Have Strengthened Their Attack
PSG's decision to add more attacking options this summer has also intensified speculation around Barcola.
The French champions have brought in Ferran Torres from Barcelona for a reported €50 million, while they have also reached an agreement with Ajax for Mika Godts.
With competition for attacking positions increasing, Barcola's situation has become one of the most closely watched transfer stories surrounding PSG.
What Happens Next?
For now, Barcola remains a PSG player.
However, his latest omission from the squad will inevitably raise further questions about whether he has a long-term future in Paris.
Liverpool's interest remains strong, but the transfer fee will be crucial to determining whether a deal can actually be completed.
Barcola's absence does not by itself confirm that a transfer is imminent, but with Liverpool pushing and PSG adding attacking reinforcements, the France winger's future is becoming increasingly uncertain.
